Tps

I saw once a method of checking the tps with a volt meter, by sticking a paperclip in where the green wire enters the connector, I have tried sticking many different metal objects in the connector, and grounding every possible place, but can not get a reading. Is there any other way to do this. I want to replace the tps, but if I can't get a voltage reading to adjust the new one, it won't function properly, or will it? thanks for any help.

when i had my 95 town car i replaced the TPS by just screwing on the new one. i didn't make any adjustments to it or nothing. and that was over a year ago and i never had any problems with the way the car idled at all.

I had trouble with the tps sensor on my 86 T-Bird. The engine kept reving up in gear when I came to stop. I just replaced it and made no adjustments, that corrected the problem.

If you watch the bare spots where the old one came off and put the new on in exactly the same place you should be fine.
